Looks OK until you see what you shot...

I didn't test it before I bought it, but I took it with my Sony R 7iv and did not take long to see the problems with the camera when using all my Canon Tilt/Shift lenses shooting architecture interiors and exteriors. Bad connection, color shift, loss of sharpness, it all goes very wrong when you put side to side the images of my Canon 5DRs DSLR to the ones of my SONY Mirrorless cameras with the same exact lens and the adapter. I learned my lesson but you don't have to if you have read this far.

Asked by: Lolek
Yes. It works with both EF and EF-S lenses. It also has marked mounting points for both systems - red dot for EF, and white square for EF-S.

Does autofocus work for video?

Does autofocus work for video?
Asked by: Elliott
The autofocus does work in video. It's not going to be like a native Sony lens, but it will be better than many of the other existing adapters. It may work better with some lenses over others, so the mileage does vary with this adapter.

Does the 'Debug Mode' allow setting a focal length (sent to the camera) when using 'dumb' manual/cinema lenses (ie without ICs in them)?
Asked by: Simon
If the lens you are using has electronic contacts for communication with a Canon camera, the Viltrox Mark V EF-E5 Canon EF Lens to Sony E-Mount Body Adapter with OLED Screen will retain the communication for sending focal length information from the lens to the camera. However, the Debug Mode will not allow you to enter your own focal length to send to the camera for EXIF data recording needs.

I know it's struggling a bit in video mode , but photo mode can we get trustable performance? and is it working like a full-frame lens or forced crop will be added?
Asked by: Sakeeran
If mounting a Canon EF lens that is optimized for a full frame sensor on a Sony E mount full frame camera, there will be no forced crop. The performance would be excellent.
